Gris developer Nomada Studio’s newest platforming adventure, Neva, is available now for Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, PC and Nintendo Switch. It focuses on Alba and Neva as they explore a world under siege by a corrupting force. Check out the launch trailer below or see what critics have to say about it in the recent accolades trailer.
Though Neva is a capable wolf companion, she starts as a pup when your adventure begins in Summer and requires protection. From the outset, Alba has a sword and can double-jump, air dash and dodge roll. As the seasons pass and Neva gains power, you can augment attacks with her energy and even command her to attack other enemies.
Neva offers more action and precision platforming than Gris, but you can adjust the difficulty by opting for Story Mode. There are also various accessibility features for a more seamless experience. It’s also not a very long game, requiring four to five hours, though there are some optional collectibles to discover. For more of our thoughts, check out our review.
